The HG BuCUE trio together

The three-headed BuCUE — the Kerberos BuCUE Hound — has gotten a variation in the form of Alec's custom unit. It's part of the SEED Frame Astrays MSV lineup, and as you can see, the molded color has simply been swapped from black to white, making it 100% a color variant kit.

Since only the molded color is different, there's nothing structurally new to really look at. That said, the contrast between black and white is so stark that the kit does feel quite distinct in terms of impression. Black looks more powerful, but the white version has a cleaner, more refined look to it as well. ^^

Just like the original kit, the overall articulation is great, and the three neck joints using wire still let you pull off flexible poses at all kinds of angles — that advantage carries over intact. Action scenes with all the beam parts deployed look pretty solid too. The biggest appeal is probably that it's just a different building experience compared to your typical bipedal mech, and the base quality is solid, so it's an enjoyable build with nothing major to complain about.

Even if it is just a color variant, the difference in color is real and distinct — so if you're into four-legged, three-headed mech designs, it might be worth picking whichever color suits your taste and giving it a build. :-)
